Dirt bikes are measured in hours, not miles. Most service intervals fall on a tight clock: clean the air filter every 2 to 4 hours of ride time, change engine oil on a 4-stroke every 4 to 6 hours, swap chain and sprockets around 40 hours, and plan on a top-end rebuild near 50 to 60 hours.Two-strokes and four-strokes<\/a> share most of the schedule, but each has a few model-specific items that don’t transfer. Your owner’s manual is the final word for your bike, since conditions, riding style, and crashes all shift the timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
